For more information visit www.talawa.com.		There are two ways to get involved: TYPT ONSTAGE For performers aged between 18-25 years old: you will create a piece of theatre under the guidance of professional practitioners and perform it at a London venue. TYPT BACKSTAGE For designers and stage managers aged between 16-25 years old: you will be given the opportunity to gain invaluable training and experience by working with us on TYPT:09 from initial meetings to the final production. All you need to do is write to us about yourself (on at least one side of A4) and tell us: What you've done and what you're doing now What you'd like to do in the future What you'd bring to the TYPT:09 experience Your date of birth and full contact details (don't forget this bit). Please mark your application either TYPT ONSTAGE or TYPT BACKSTAGE and make sure it reaches us by Wednesday 13th May.

Further selection stages involve group workshops and an informal interview to help us to get to know you better.
